Instead as art glass grows in popularity and the internet is increasingly adopted as a low-cost distribution and promotion mechanism we are seeing a trend towards glass art collectives and glass art dealers on the web. These organizations showcase the work of several artists; and provide services that range from simple sales channels to design support for integrated glass design for the home. An example of such a service is the Glass Artists Gallery . They have been helping designers and homeowners all across North America with art glass tiles lighting sinks and other functional glass art for years. They are not really a "brick and mortar gallery" but rather a resource for the trade and discerning homeowners for functional and architectural glass.

Since they dont have any color in it and are totally transparent they match any color from granite counter tops to kitchen cabinets and easily blend into the environment. Stained and Plain Clear Glass Tiles require more attention when installing. Because you can see what is on the other side of the tile you may end up seeing the path made by the trowel when the installer was butting the wall. So it is recommended to use a white adhesive such as mastic and also butter the back of the tiles. Make sure to press the tiles firmly against the wall with a grout float and take a look if there is any air bubbles after each piece has been placed so you may correct the problem before the adhesive dries. Definitely this type of glass tiles takes more time to install but the result is absolutely worth. Glass tile is all the rage in interior decorating right now but the real star is recycled glass tile.

The most important step in putting glass tile in a swimming pool is choosing the right installation materials. To reiterate the high rate of expansion and contraction of glass caused by temperature changes is the leading cause of cracks and damage to installed tiles. In order to compensate for this special thin-set adhesives and additives have been developed that expand and contract with the glass. The leading manufacturer of glass-specific tile adhesive systems is MAPEI and their Adesilex P10 thin-set and Keraply additive can be combined into an installation system that is specifically designed for applications where the glass tiles are completely submerged.

Glass tiles have a higher rate of heat expansion which means that these glass tile backsplashes can withstand heat more than porcelain or ceramic tiles do. If you have a fireplace that you use often during the coldest days of the year giving it an image overhaul by installing a decorative tile backsplash is worth the money. Impress your friends and relatives with the newest design that is available in your local tile retailer Show off your backyard pool. Owning a pool is awesome where you can dispel the heat during summer seasons. However with the plain white or blue (or the combination of both colors) ensemble of your pool sometimes you wish your pool look livelier than its current appearance. vWith this newest trend on glass tile backsplashes give your backyard pool a face-lift and astonish your visitors when you hold a pool party or simple gatherings with your friends.
